Predictive model for construction labour productivity using hybrid feature selection and principal component analysis
Download2022-01-01
Ebrahimi, Sara, Kazerooni, Matin, Sumati, Vuppuluri, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labour productivity (CLP) is affected by numerous variables made up of subjective and objective factors. Thus, CLP modelling and prediction are a complex task, leading to high computational cost and the risk of overfitting of data. This paper proposes a predictive model for CLP by...
